--Governor Foraker's reasons why
the Republican party should be re-

TIRED OUT.
With jar and jolt, the ferry-bont
ruto Ito ,nooripr Swung.
OHIO.

With jar and jolt, the ferry-bont
Into Its mooring swung;
The homewnrd crowd upon its bows,
In mute impatience hung.
Then oil arose, and hurried forth
That ceaseless tide Of men,
That every morn flowed to the town,
At night, to ebb again.
With hurried step they jostled out,
And sought the busy street;
Nor needed any one child
That rose not from ersea.--,
A frail and slender little girl,
Whose faco, 80 wan and pala,
With great dark rings about the ey
Told all the mournful tale.
All day within the factory,
So faint she scarce could stand,
She'd kept at her allotted task,
With weak and trembling Aand;
She must not stop, though she should sink
All lifeless to the floor;
Her work alone gaunt hunger kept
Without her mothers door.
Week after week, through weary months,
This child, SO old with care,
Had staggered meath load of toll
She was not made to bear;
And oft, at night, when on the boat,
Gazed down with wistful eye,
And wished that pillowed on the waves
Her weary head might lie.
NCome. all ashore!" the boatman cried,
Who, passing, spied her there;
"Come. all ashorc!' and then he stopped
"Asleep, well declare!
Come, wake upi" then he stopped again,
Filled with nameless dread;
Then called the other hands to come
"What IL the child were deadI'
Her lips were mute, and closed her eyes,
Nor breath within her stirred
But when they raised her in their hands,
feeble moan was heard.
They laid her in an ambulance,
That bore the child away;
And soon within hospital
All motionless she lay.
All through the silent hours OF night
They heard her feobly moan,
. And say, with low and fitful breath,
In plaintive monotone:
IL am SO tired. I am SO tired,
And yet so much to do;
So tired, and yet must not stop
Until my work is through
The night dragged by, the day came on;
They watched beside her bed.
She opened not her eyes, nor moved,
But ever family said:
81 feel as II could not stand
Until the close OF day,
o, would might lie down tonight
And there forever stay!'
That evening as the clock struck six,
The patient raised her head,
And counted Off the strokes, and smiled;
"Tis time to STOP" she said,
sand now I'm going home, to rest"
And then she spoke no more
Her life had struck it's six o'clock,
Her day Of work was DER.

HUMMING BIRDS NESTS.
Remarkably Delicate, Cunningly Made and
Charminsly Cozy Affairs.

Charmingly Cozy Affairs.
Cozily nestled in the very tiniest little
nest, so soft and elastic that even her
delicate plumagc is unruffled by con-
tact with its moss-covered sides, we
lind our humming- High on the
gnarled and twisted branch of dog
wood she has built this fairy home; and
therein, with the overhanging leaves
for IL canopy, the little sylph is brood
ing. How shall describe the cunning
little structure? A few weeks ago the
building was commenced. but on such
small scall that the foundation was
laid ere the site was discovered by us.
Soft puffs from the blossoms of oak and
chestnut, bits of the softest brown
fungus and scraps of gray moses that
grow in secret places known only to
these little fairies, were worked into
the walls, and gradually the little cup
like house approached completion.
Little flakes of lichen and bard, veri-
table diminutive clapboards, were next
added, and the task was finished. There
it rests, its messy coverings harmonic
ing so well with the tree bark as to con-
ceal it from all but the closest observer,
and often, though knowing its location
so well, have missed it for an instant,
so cunningly is it placed. A dead twig
projects from the branch few inches
to one side, and here the little wood
sprites frequently perch. There is the
male now, his ruby throat all ablaze as
IL sunbeam covers him for an instant
with gold.
And now. as he snuggles close beside
his mate, he is evidently telling her
where her breakfast is waiting in the
trumpet flower he tapped for her last
night. and which is half-flled with
nectar this morning, accumulated drop
by drop during the cool hours of dark
ness. Like flash she is off, and he
takes her place to keep the chill from
the tiny eggs. These frail little crea-
lures have gradually become accus-
toned to my presence. At first they
were nervous, and would dart down to
within five or six feet of me, and there,
poised on its whirring wings, closely
inspect the intruder, utttering the while
sundry peeps and curious little cries.
Now that they are convinced that no
harm is intended, they do not even
leave the nest at my approach. What
dreamlife is theirs! gliding in zigzag
lines over the flower beds, now sus-
pended almost motionless over lily
bloom, now racing with humble bee for
honeyed prize, or dashing at the SPAR
rows and robins, and speedily putting
them to flight by the fury of their onset
What they do or where they go when it
storms do not know, but at the first
returning CLEAN of sunshine they are
back again with the rapidity of thought,
slipping the raindrops from the flowers.
And when bedtime comes, what Won
derful stories of the sunlight the little
things must tell each other, rs cuddling
close up there in the dark, they listen
to the coon! coon! coon! coon! of the
insects, and watch the fireflies guiding
the moths among the trees by the light
of their orches!-F'orest and Stream.

CrawfordsyilIc,a Gas Well.
Special to the indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis JournaI.
CRAwFoRpsvILLE, March 26.-The very sud
den stop of the workmen on the first gas well
has caused some little speculation as to the
cause thereof. There is a runor gaining ground
that oil has been found. and this is why there
was such sudden halt, and why no person
seems to be the least anxious over the ''aban-
doned" well. The day before the work ceased a
Standard Oil man was at the we'll. and at mid
night the work stopped, and plug was placed in
the pipe Then the workmen we're at once hired
to the other gas company, and the projectors of
No. / departed for st. Louis. It is
not known even how deep the well is.
There is we'll on the farm of j. e. DuEn, a
short distance from this "gas" we'll, that has at
times something standing the surface of the
water therein, which resem5ed oil. If it is true
that oil has been found it is to be kept as quiet
as possible, until the projectors Of the we'll have
secured all the land wanted in the vicinity And
if they have found natural gas, some persons
insist, they are lying still for some reason AT
any rate, there is no Disgusting the fact that il
was strange thing to stop work without a mo-
ments warning

a half dozen book agents who were

people, and for obtaining money under
false pretenses at Reading, Pa, were re.
leased there by Judge Ermentrout last
week under habras corpus proceedings.
The Judge held that the evidence simply
convicted the accused of telling falsehoods
TO sell their goods. and that the law
would imprison no one for plain, ordinary
lying. That many of these book agents
are nuisance cannot be denied. Their
mode of procedure is first 10 ascertain
the name of some prominent person in
the neighborhood, whom they approach
in familiar air, and upon presenting
their business simultaneously withdraws
from secet pocket on the inside of their
coat, made for the purpose. handsomely
bound copy of the work for which they
are canvassing. and before you can get q
